I've lived in San Francisco since about 2009, getting to
work at some great companies,
and increasingly during those companies best eras.
Started with Yahoo! BOSS,
Digg, SocialCode,
Uber and now Stripe.

A long time ago, I also cofounded a really misguided iOS gaming startup with
Luke Hatcher. We
made thousands of dollars over six months, and spent the next six
years trying to figure out how to stop paying taxes.
It was a bit of a missed opportunity.

Even further back, I grew up in North Carolina,
studied computer science at Centre College in Kentucky,
and spent a year in Japan on the JET Program.
